Abstract

 

Oral cancers have a very high incidence in males. But at present the incidence is also on the rise in females due to smoking, chewing tobacco and betel nut habit or addiction. The basic aim of our study is to compare both the sexes clinically, epidemiologically, etiologically, histopathologically and also as per the biological behavior of the tumor, regarding out-come of the different modalities of treatment to determine if any difference exists between the males and females.

Keywords: Oral cancer, addiction, epidemiology, biological behavior.
